No Gains, Gaining Fat

mr. sparkle

New member
Hey All,

I had made another post in the training forum about not being able to put any meat on my shoulders, but after taking a good look in the mirror the other day I noticed that I hadn't really made any gains in size since about 1 month ago. And the scale says the same; no increase in weight. My only problem is that I seem to be smoothing out at the same time, and my abs are slowly but surely disappearing. Is it possible that I'm gaining fat without gaining muscle despite the fact that I'm still training hard?
I gained about 10 lbs so far this summer, but the increases seemed to come to a halt a few weeks ago. Like I said, I'm training hard and have a 2-on 1-off split, and have been eating a sufficient amount to be gaining weight. My diet varies from day to day because I'm home from college for the summer and have to rely on what's in the fridge at home, but I always try to eat the same kind of meal at the same times of the day.
Meal 1: P+C Meal 2: P+C Meal 3: P+F Meal 4(Pre-Workout):P+C Meal 5(Post-wkout shake): P+C Meal 6: P+F

The only other thing is that I haven't been sleeping well this past week because of the unbelievable humidity in the northeast, but I know that gains started slowing before that, and didn't come afterward.

Any suggestions you guys might have would be most welcome...Please help me out, I don't know what's wrong with me!!:bawling:

As much as it sucks, it really does pay off to write down exactly what you eat. I think a lot of people don't have an accurate picture of what they're actually getting each day in terms of macronutrients.

How long have you been working out (total)? Just 1 month?

How much water are you drinking per day?

What kind of supplements are you taking?



Also, where in North Jersey are you from?
 
I starting working out last October, but didn't really get serious until this past May, so I'd say I've been actually been training for 2 months.

I try to drink plenty of water every day: 1 bottle (16.9 oz) in the AM, 1 bottle with lunch, 1 bottle in afternoon, 1/2 bottle during workout, and about 3/4 bottle in the evening.

The supplements I'm taking are: Vitamin B complex in AM, Ginger Root extract 1000mg with lunch, ALA with carb meals, Multivitamin with dinner, and GNC 100% Whey with grape juice as my post-workout

bdawgg are you from jersey? I'm from pompton plains (near wayne) but i'll be going back to school in massachusetts in september.

Thanks

i agree with X on this, you really need to figure out exactly what your nutrient breakdowns are, i.e. protein amounts, fat, carbs, and then figure out what needs to added or deleted to continue to make good progress
